14 Federal Budget Estimates for Fiscal Year 2006

Each year, BEA adjusts the Federal budget estimates of receipts and outlays from the Budget of the United States Government so that these estimates are consistent with the NIPAs. The adjusted estimates are then used to prepare quarterly estimates of Federal Government current receipts and current expenditures. For fiscal year 2006, net Federal Government saving is projected to be -$392.5 billion; the Federal budget projects a deficit of $390.1 billion. Federal Government current receipts are projected to increase $136.2 billion; Federal budget receipts are projected to increase $124.7 billion. Federal Government current expenditures are projected to increase $126.1 billion; Federal budget outlays are projected to increase $88.2 billion. | PDF
